Joel Liu's List: Startup lessons

I tried it on a piece of content I'd just had to type out, that was originally in an image. Typing out the content took about 10 minutes. Copying and pasting with Naptha, and then making some minor edits/corrections, did the same thing in about 2 minutes.

From my own experiments, I tend to find that you can read through and correct errors only relatively marginally faster than you can type because you either follow along with the cursor or need to be able to position the cursor very quickly when you find an error, and as the error rate increases, trying to position the cursor to each error very quickly gets too slow.

Dropping accuracy in your effort to correct the text doesn't really seem to speed things up much. You likely speed it up if you're willing to assume that anything that passes the spellchecker is ok (but it won't be, especially as modern OCR's often try to rely on data about sequences of letters, or dictionaries, when they're uncertain about characters)
